The suécess of the Chicago Cubs! in climbing to the top of the Na-, tional League heap and staying there! is the story of the success of two catchers, Bill Killefer, the greatest of Nationa] League catchers, and Fred Mitchell, manager of the club. It has long been a baseball tradi-; t'on that catchers make the best man- | agers, a tradition which has put | catehers in one-third of the manageri- | al positions of the big leagues as against two-thirds from. the other eight positions. The Cubs started the season' with all the earmarks of a great ball club, but it was not long until war condi- tions made cuts in the ranks which presages a rapid fall into the second division. The loss of Alexander, who would have been good for about thir- ty victories, was the worst blow. Yet, instead of falling by the way- side, the Cubs climbed out over the heads of the Giants and took a lead which will be difficult for any club to overcome, And the secret of this Killefer and Mitchell.

I am often asked about the Pug, | what has become of him and why he did not cling to popularity. I will say! that there are more Pugs on the other side of the Atlantic than here, and that they still like the breed in some parts, but the Pug has just about passed entirely from the bench and show ring. Why? Because he lacked the qual- ities needed to maintain a breed. The dog was not as intelligent as a dog should be. He was short-nosed and you will find short-nosed breeds more or less given to stupidity.

It has been standard in practically its present form for eight seasons. Re- fined and improved from time to time it has always kept pace with, and in value ahead of the times. It is the most mature and highly perfected motor car of any type. ' In mechanical details, however, there are many improve- ments, yet a cursory inspection would scarcely disclose them to you. Fandamentally, the motor, clutch, transmission, axles, star ter and all other chassis units are the same. 4 In details you will find scores of refinenients. Come in and see this Reo Four.
